FAQ
Questions Brighton FSBO sellers ask us.
- How much can I save listing FSBO in Brighton?
- Roughly $21,000 on a typical Brighton home. Home Posted FSBO listings are free, you avoid the 5–6% agent commission entirely.

- How long do FSBO homes sit on the market in Brighton, Massachusetts?
- Median FSBO time-to-contract in Brighton runs around 62 days when the home is priced right and presented well. Underpriced and well-photographed FSBO homes can go pending in under 14 days; overpriced ones can sit indefinitely.
- Do I have to put my Brighton FSBO on the MLS?
- No, Home Posted's marketplace gives you direct exposure to retail buyers and to our pre-screened cash-buyer network without the MLS. If you want MLS exposure too, you can pair our listing with a flat-fee MLS service (typically $300–$500 in Massachusetts) and still avoid the listing-agent commission.
- What disclosures do I need to make as a Massachusetts FSBO seller?
- Massachusetts requires a written seller's property disclosure for most residential sales, defects you actually know about, not what an inspector might find.

- Can I get a backup cash offer while my Brighton home is listed FSBO?

- Who handles closing on an FSBO sale in Brighton?
